Asked if she will go to the appointment before Supreme Court Judge Pablo Llarena on April 24 at 11 a.m., as she has been summoned, she once again ironized: "I confess that I have been so busy that I have not had time or from looking at my diary, so right now I don't know what my occupations are in the week after Sant Jordi. I suspect that I have a lot of things to do that are more of a priority than going to visit Madrid".

Although he has said that he had the "conviction that there would be an arrest", he has reported that he did not expect it to go before the cameras, but that he hoped to cross the center of Barcelona to make a connection with the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont and the Former Minister Toni Comín, both also MEPs and resident in Brussels.

Ponsatí has ​​framed his return in a political strategy with which he responds to "political persecution", has insisted on defending that his immunity as a MEP is not precautionary and has urged the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, to hold a conversation with she.

"If you want to defend our immunity, you will have to do something more than pass the ball to the legal commission, invaded by Spanish deputies, who clearly I fear have a conflict of interest like a country house," he warned in reference to the leader european.

He has said that he will try to speak with Metsola, something that he has said has not been possible so far because it is very difficult for the leader of the Chamber.

The former minister has claimed that she is an independent person on a political level and that she is not affiliated with any political formation: "Together is not my party."

He has accused the groups of the Catalan Chamber of having "accepted the 'status quo', and that is that the Parliament does not act as the legislative chamber of the Catalans" and has accused them of practicing rhetoric, which he sees as more intense or lighter depending on Of the information.

Along these lines, he has said that in the municipal elections he will abstain and will not support any of the candidates for mayor of Barcelona: "He needs a very important shake up but right now it seems to me that the candidacies that are presented in the May elections are not offer a project that excites me".

And he has wanted "a new generation of leadership to take over" and achieve independence, to which he has extended his hand.

On whether the independence of Catalonia requires sacrifices, she has erected the independence movement as "a democratic and peaceful movement", something that according to her is beyond doubt, and she has defended that if there is a confrontation in the future, the responsibility will fall on the power that exerts violence.
